Figure 72. P9 EMS SSR menu
The Installation worksheet lists a campus connection that must be set up on the P9 EMS (C11-T3).
This connection is set up for a public network but could also be an additional management network
link. If the customer is prepared, connect a connection of choice on the P9 EMS (C11-T3) and set
this IP address by using essutils under the P9 EMS options.
Each P9 server has an HMC2 port. This port may also be run to an additional network, that is,
public, management, or FSP, for the customer. LBS sets this IP, but you might be asked to run the
cable (this HMC2 connection is purely optional).
You can use the same commands that you use to check an I/O server except for the two command
options, Check enclosure cabling and paths to disks and Check disks for IO operations.
You would not run these options because the EMS nor protocol nodes contain any SAS adapter
or external storage like the I/O servers. However, when you run essutils, perform the following
steps:
• Quick storage configuration check
• Check for serviceable events (EMS ONLY)
• Gather serviceable event ID details (EMS ONLY)
• Erase serviceable event ID (EMS ONLY)
• Set FSP ipmi IP address (EMS or 3200) (HMC1 | BMC)
• Set FSP ipmi static state and netmask (EMS or 3200) (HMC1 | BMC)
• Check FSP interface (EMS or 3200) (HMC1 | BMC)
• Assign IP address to Management Interface (EMS ONLY) (C11-T1)
• Assign IP address to FSP Interface (EMS ONLY) (C11-T2)
• Check management interface (EMS ONLY) (C11-T1)
• Check FSP interface (EMS ONLY) (C11-T2)
• Run passwordless ssh check
• Fix passwordless ssh
• Assign IP address to Campus Interface (EMS P9 C11-T3)
• Check Campus interface (POWER 9 EMS C11-T3)
Note: The campus network connections are required to be set by the customer before
deployment can begin but if the IPs are not provided the SSR can skip and still complete code 20.
The customer would then need to perform this action themselves before starting the container
deployment.
Note: Fix passwordless ssh, Gather serviceable event ID details (EMS ONLY), and Erase serviceable
event ID (EMS ONLY) are only used if needed. If the ping was successful to the C11-T4 port
proceed to login by using the following credentials.
